Painter Produce

More than 35 fresh, in-season, organically grown produce items (tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, peppers, melons, onions, greens, carrots, beans, cabbage, beets, etc.), including quantities for canning; root cellar-stored vegetables during the off-season; canned goods (picante, pasta sauce, jams, and jellies); dehydrated and fermented foods;  homemade soups and baked goods; and gift box ideas.

The owners use a mix of modern and old-fashioned growing techniques to produce and store a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and herbs. The newly constructed Painter Produce Farm Stand building with a certified commercial kitchen allows owners Dan and Tracy Painter to be open all year and incorporate value-added items (e.g., homemade soups and baked/canned goods). Their produce is free of any pesticides, herbicides, or commercial fertilizers. One of their secret weapons to make the operation more sustainable is by using farm-made compost to boost organic matter, improve nutrient balance, and retain soil moisture. Surplus compost is available for purchase.
